I made a quick animation a couple days ago, a sketchy thing based on a vine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ0LdVtjMsw
Not too keen on all the characters being male for the voices but I think I tweaked it enough for that to not matter #fightingdreamerscomic #animation #doodles

I diddly dang did the eye thing #fightingdreamerscomic #eyestyle

Random question for you guys, what Kritter Cat pattern is your favorite? I want to get an idea of which #plushie might be a top seller during the two #artistAlley events I'm selling at

It’s weird how one of the things I’m looking forward to whenever I get my own place is to have my own custom answering machine message set up
I mean I could technically set that up with voicemail on my cell phone but I don’t use that thing

I buffered REALLY FAR AHEAD in #fightingdreamerscomic and I made a bunch of preview images in advance, check out these hints of the #webcomic pages coming up in the next month or so

First time working with molding stuff, hopefully it works out. Although these are 3D print models that are kinda low risk losses so if I lose them then I just try it again another time

Fight Boy at 10 Scale is a BIT BIG

And all the supports use up a lot of filament

Maybe I’ll try using the tiny models as molds for resin casting...which I have never done before so this next week is gonna be interesting

@MannyKat8x Arms Outstretched has some issues with their face and the arms, lost a bit of a foot

Fight Boy meanwhile turned out better looking so maybe I’ll market him instead

Messed with more #3Dprint models and #miniature ideas, apparently you CAN export a frame from a Mixamo rigged pose and print it!
These guys aren’t quite Market Ready, but knowing I can do it is awesome. I’ll try printing them at 10 Scale tomorrow
I’ll paint these boys for myself in the meantime #DnD5e #tabaxi

I watched #InsideOut last night and this morning I woke up with a #migraine, and I started wondering how that would translate in the Emotion Headspace

Maybe it’s a weird thunderstorm (but no rain) that statics up the visuals for like half an hour (the aura) and then half the world gets lightning (to correspond with the pain) and things slow down or malfunction during the thing

I know for mine, Fear was in control for the first few, but now it’s so commonplace that Anger joins in

Playing with the FD Cat Generator I made and input the main trio’s names to see what would happen, the fact that they ALL rolled some sort of orange is astounding

I should do this more often, like if some cats only know Sandy/Patches/Stewie by name (maybe eye color) they think it’s these guys or some other dopplegangers, the thing resets every day

Last night I skimmed through the #fightingdreamerscomic archive on the new site (to double check if everything posted correctly) and I found this panel again.
This one was one of my favorites at the time so I redrew it just because

@MannyKat8x I’m more than likely going to trigger a minor Burnout, but I want to be so backlogged with finished (or mostly finished) pages that I will not only ride out the Burnout, but still have enough leftover to keep updating consistently while I get back to working on the new pages
That being said, I should use my hyper productivity to figure out the CH5 cover
There’s TWO fights happening in this chapter

I got a month’s worth of #FightingDreamersComic pages done last night (technically a couple nights back but I added a Game Page to hold me over for the Con Weekend) and I’m ready to do MORE
Or at least lines, it worked for the last pages of the chapter, it’s gonna work for the first pages when I get absolutely sick of lines but still want to do busy work
